deluded pom? Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Is anyone else having problems with the 'site going down? It's happened a couple of times today on both an iPad using safari and a kindle using silk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Drake Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Forum software was updated this morning. Usually leads to a few problems till the bugs are ironed out of it. I knew I shouldn't have hit the button that said 'upgrade'. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 It has been off and on for a while. Patience, and it'll probably sort itself out. Probably...

Graham Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I thought the site had a slightly different look to it afterwards. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never upgrade until at least two subsequent releases of the software have been issued? For shame, sir! The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wise people so full of doubts. Bury your memories; bury your friends.

Two patches were then added to it, and I ignored those too. Then, cos it was Bank Holiday and I was working and it was fairly quiet on here I thought I'd go ahead, and.... CRASH!!!!!!! Several support tickets later, and after much fretting, hair tearing out and banging my head on my desk, I'm told all will be well from now on. Let's see... .

Bedford Roughyed Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 You must be on first name terms with support by now... With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deluded pom? Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Here's one for you John. I notice that when I read a post and go back to the main forum the tread title is still in bold even though I've just read the last post on that particular thread.

Oh b*gg*r...guess the "number of patches before upgrading" rule has become a bit out of date with the ever-increasing complexity of software? Maybe the old fall-back rule "never upgrade until a you are two whole versions behind..." is more relevant nowdays?

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I had problems too. As everybody on here will recognise, I am one of the most - possibly the most - balanced and reasonable contributors to these fora. I know that may seem a smidgeon immodest, but such is the truth! So when I saw the site was down, I knew immediately that here we had the crude and dirty hand of the RFU subterfuge department at play. Paranoid? Moi? ps the spellchecker doesn't like 'fora' as the plural of 'forums'. It either tries to split it as 'for a' or then underlines it in red, when I correct its correction! I'm not a snob, of course, but really - how plebian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
